Discover what makes Adventure Quest the Best
This video shows what a quest is like from the eyes of the brave heroes aged 6-17 who attend our summer programs. For children and teens, going on a quest is like being part of a magical fantasy story like Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, the Chronicles of Narnia or Redwall.
Youth Programs for Ages 6-17
Children who love Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Frozen, Minecraft, and other popular fantasy and sci-fi worlds love our programs because they can become a wizard, a knight, a princess, a shapeshifter, a Jedi, or anything they’re excited about, and become the heroes of an adventure like the ones they read about and watch.
A World as Large as Your Child’s Imagination
Behind the curtain of our youth programs is an educational model that teaches valuable life lessons and fosters a sense of wonder.
Story
Storytelling is not a lost art! In Adventure Quest, the children become the heroes of an interactive story. By acting out their characters, they bring the story to life and their actions change its outcome.
Imagination
Imagination is not a forgotten skill! Play any race you can think of. Attempt any feat you would like to do. Questers get to explore the vast world of Thael and interact with it as their character.
Diversity
There is wonder in the ancient and the innovative alike! The game world of Thael is incredibly diverse, crafted as a fantasy analog of Earth’s cultures, historical epochs, and mythology. The game’s magic system draws from myriad philosophies of magic in popular culture and ancient myth.
Experiential Learning
Adventure Quest naturally develops critical thinking and decision making skills, but even “core subjects” like mathematics, history, finances, language arts, and others can be taught within the context of the quest’s challenges.
Teamwork & Individual Expression
No one can accomplish the quest’s goals by themselves. It requires teamwork. Yet it is not merely the sum of all the members together that create success. Rather, it is each participant’s unique strengths that make them so critical to the success of the group.
Responsible Empowerment
The participants are the heroes, and with it comes great power. This is exciting and empowering! Within the world of the imagination, participants make decisions – and mistakes – in an environment that is responsive and yet safe. Consequences matter in the game, and the players naturally learn responsibility even as they are empowered.
A Tool for Growth
Adventure Quest is so fun, and acts as such a great tool for experiential learning, that parents, teachers, and other educators can use in-game benefits as a reward for such things as academic improvement, completion of chores, other countless other responsibilities.
Time-Tested
More than 3,500 children and teens have attended Adventure Quest programs, in over 100,000 cumulative hours of questing. We have been running birthday parties, after schools programs, and summer quests for kids in since 2003.
Perfect for children and teens from 6-17
Over the years we have refined, improved, and perfected our Adventure Quest game, so that it is simple enough that a 6-year-old can play, and with enough possibilities that a 16-year-old who has Quested every week of the summer for 10 years still finds new experiences and challenges.
Fun Birthday Parties for Kids of All Ages
Let Majestic Adventures join your party or event to lead a variety of creative and unique parties for ages 6 – adult. Most activities can be customized to a particular theme or set of challenges, such as allowing the participants to be warriors and wizards, ninjas and samurai, Norse or Greek legends, medieval knights in Charlemagne’s court, or even characters from a favorite book or movie series.
My son had the most wonderful time at his birthday party. Thank you for making it so magical. You could tell by the huge smiles on the children’s faces that everyone had a blast. It was the best birthday party we’ve ever had. My only concern is how to top this next year!
Enriching Alternatives to Childcare,
and More Fun than Movies or Video Games!
In Adventure Quest, the puzzles and mysteries, moral dilemmas, and other challenges of the quest are regarded with creative imagination as playful opportunities for experiential learning.
Experiential Education Outcomes
Our programs offer an unforgettable experience, fun in every way, and an incredible tool to develop 21st century skills:
Teamwork
Challenges within the story are often daunting, and the group is only successful when they can work together as a team, utilizing the strengths of each individual.
Social Development
Motivations of characters within each story are complex, and when the participants interact with these personalities in a genuine way, they come to understand how to communicate in a positive way.
Conflict Resolution
Students are often presented with scenarios of conflict that can only be resolved when an agreement can be made, whether it be between two great nations or a household of bickering siblings.
Imagination & Creativity
Through an interactive story, with scenes and monsters and realms described by a brilliant storyteller, the stage is set for creative expression and imaginative exploration—some of their greatest strengths.
Critical thinking
Students develop and practice critical thinking and problem solving skills throughout their mythic adventure. For instance, when the plot or characters of the story take an unexpected turn, participants must puzzle through a solution that is not readily obvious.
Responsible empowerment
Roleplaying games offer the participant the ability to choose their actions in a safe environment; when a goal is reached and a challenge overcome by the participants’ actions, it allows the children to realize that they can overcome other situations in their own lives.
Skills education & training
Within the quest, the leaders have an opportunity to teach skills that would help the kids succeed in their adventures. Mathematics helps one group pass through a trapped corridor filled with a number pattern; cryptograms on a pirate’s map test the kids in their language abilities; making a wilderness shelter teaches survival…

See what some of the 3,500+ satisfied parents and educators are saying about our programs:
“My son loves your camps!
I asked, if you could go to all of the Disney parks or to Adventure Quest this summer, which would you choose? He said, “Adventure Quest!”
– Mr. Alipour-fard, parent
Incredibly creative staff who introduce serendipity into every quest, perpetuating the sense of magic for those children and adults who are on the verge of losing it.
A wonderful unique experience. As a teacher I really appreciate all that the children learn while having so much fun. As a parent I love the staff and how caring and concerned they are for the children.
It is a way for our son to learn teamwork and outdoorsman skills in an imaginative, enchanting way. It’s like having a nintendo adventure game experience offscreen in real time! Thanks for providing this fine opportunity.
We at Horizons have been greatly impressed. Their talent to inspire creative imaginative play blended with their ability to physically interact with our students in a fun, safe and nurturing manner has made the classes very popular with the students in our school. I highly recommend their program and have found the staff to be very positive role models for our students.
Best. Camp. Ever. Provides a safe, carefree, playful environment and loads of creativity and imagination – which should be the realm of all kids, especially during the summer! The Quest Leaders are fantastic. In my kids’ words, their leader was “amazingly, absolutely, positively, magically awesome!” It has been their favorite summer camp, hands down, for 4 or 5 years now.
We were beyond thrilled with our experience! The staff worked closely with us to tailor their many offerings to our unique group of children, and proved to be impressively adept at shifting gears throughout each session, in response to our group’s many needs. The parents and children found their events to be a breath of fresh air… outrageously fun, as well as mentally and physically stimulating (while also very safe, which was of paramount importance to us).
If you’re considering something very special for your next event, look no further. This is a gem of a company with a heart of gold and a passion for delivering quality programs that are unlike any other.
